Hoping for some more pop ups around sundown. Had a brief shower earlier. Feels like it's gonna, but will it?

Was down to the bay cottage yesterday-lots of damage on the way down. Chesapeake City got rocked. Lots of trees down on the power lines. Corn blown over. They were still working last night. At the cottage there was some tree damage, lots of chairs and stuff blown over. Thankfully my cousin was there as she said my front door blew open. I'll make sure to dead bolt it from now on. Hard to believe all that happened there compared to our 60 drops.

72 degrees, I have a sweater on. Thanks for posting the long range outlook too. May not need AC for a few more weeks. Haven't had it on yet.......

I hate these set ups. I'm moving from office to home work around 1:30. We just had a passing shower.

This is why I prefer the fall to spring. Fall you anticipate colder weather with a hot day thrown in. Spring in the evil step child teasing you with warm. I do recall having to re plant tomatoes once in May after a frost killed about 8 or 10 plants. My Easter flowers I planted on Saturday were dead by Monday am.

Getting dark out there. Out like a lion.

Seeing some flashes an hearing rumbles to my south/west. I hate early spring storms. Had a bat removed from my burner motor yesterday Hard to believe we had blowing snow last Saturday.

I've always been more of a snow fan. A snowstorm is not as damaging as an ice storm, tornados, hurricanes, tropical storms, and flooding events. You hunker down during the storm, then go out when it's over, move it out of the way and get on with life. I do read the tropical section when there is a threat of a US landfall. Right after my husband passed we had Ida and I had to refill and start a generator for 2 days after my son set it up. Not fun. Hoping I don't have to do that again.

Most intense rates of the day. Still going nuts. Visibility an issue I can see the traffic has slowed. I was supposed to out tonight.

32 now. Snow is small flakes and blowing sideways. Walk and driveway starting to get covered. Lost power for a few minutes. I’d say best storm of the winter.

Nice! Down to 33. All snow is sticking to grass/cars.

Snow! That was quick.

Down to 35 it’s trying to flip. Got some ice pellets

44 and rain. Winds picking up.

Good thing the salt and shovel are still out on the porch. Bring on some flakes this way.

Bunch of Watches, advisories, and statements are out. It pretty much covers all you folks up north. Hoping we do OK down here. I have a procedure scheduled on Friday-will see what happens with it.

Still showering snow. 31.

25 here and a few flurries. What a morning!

All is well. Heat running. Coffee brewing. Phew.

PECO truck is outside. Should be back up soon. Don’t think anything will freeze. It’s 48 degrees in here! Wonder what happened? Their outage map just had us flagged as 2. Brrr

My power went out. Looks to be sporadic. Hope this is short lived.

Light glaze. Right call. Nothing coming down now.

Got out 1 hr early. Yea. Right at 33. Thanks for the radar shot. Looks like it might flip before it ends.

I didn't realize Chester Co got a winter weather advisory early this morning. 42 for awhile now. Early work dismissal?
